Pros
A lot of good colleagues and art.
Cons
There is a lot of miscommunication all over from leadership and upper management. And it directly affects lower level staff who do the day to day so they are not in the loop and are holding the weight of the after effects of bad communication.

Pros
Some decent colleagues and friends
Cons
Terrible work life balance. This company is run by people obsessed with opera who don’t understand having a family at home. They expect me to look at my email all the time. I can never separate myself from work. This job has severely impacted my mental health

Pros
Overall, the new leadership is making good changes forward in terms of communication between departments and direction of programming.
Cons
It's a non-profit that you are expected to be more busy in heavy times for the organization. Employees who have been at the organization a while have more benefits than new employees - and people know.
- 3.0Aug 10, 2022Manager of Artistic PlanningCurrent Employee
Pros
Trying to facilitate better communication
Cons
Organization is more siloed than ever. Only select "favorites" get rewarded or recognized.
